I have a question.I wonder is there anyway in Matlab to change the name of variable to completely different thing in a for loop? Meaning that I would like name of first variable to be variable211, second variable is variable232 and third variable is variable345.
I am aware of something like:
for i=1:10
A(i)=i^2 % This creates A(1),A(2)......A(10)
I know I can use cell array but that one still gives something like array like A{1}, A{2}.I am looking completely different name like I explained above.

How would you expect to be able to access all these variables afterwards if they were able to have transient names? That is exactly what an array is for to have one variable name and lots of results.

Because the link explains how to create a variable, variable211
i=1
eval(sprintf('varaible%d=%d',211,i))
